Professional language coaching

I work with people whose Spanish has to hold up under pressure — in a deposition, an exam room, a board meeting, a session. Sessions are one-to-one, online, in Latin American Spanish, and built around the conversations you actually have, not a textbook’s idea of them.

My background is in psychology, and it shapes how I teach. Speaking a second language in front of people who are judging your competence is not a vocabulary problem — it is a composure problem with a vocabulary attached. We work on both.

Consultation

25 min

Before anything is booked — what you need Spanish for, where it currently fails you, and whether I am the right person for it. No placement test.

Spanish classes

$60 / session

50 minutes, one-to-one, online. General Spanish at any level — conversation, grammar, travel, family, exam preparation. Materials and between-session practice included.

Professional language coaching

$120 / session

50 minutes, one-to-one, online, for attorneys, clinicians, therapists and executives. Built on the vocabulary and situations of your own field, with materials drawn from your real documents and cases.

Speak Spanish where it lives.

A Spanish retreat in Puerto Rico, built around real conversation with locals, unhurried days, and people worth knowing. Everyone comes to practice, not to perform.

You arrive practicing a language. You leave having lived in it, with people you will want to see again. No passport needed for U.S. citizens.

Who you’re working with

I’m Tania, founder of Ricci Language Services. Spanish is my first language; English is the one I have worked in for over ten years. When you send a document here, I am the person who translates it, signs the certificate, and answers your email.

I trained as a psychologist at the University of Havana and worked clinically with children and families, then as an organizational psychologist, and later as a behavior therapist in Miami. So I take the nerves seriously: an important document, or a conversation in a second language, rarely arrives without them.

Today I run Ricci Language Services from New Jersey, working with clients across the world.

Native Spanish

Fluent in the registers people actually use: the courtroom, the exam room, and the kitchen table.

Trained in psychology

Clinical and organizational experience behind every coaching session.

Terms of Service

Last updated 2 October 2026. Sections 2 through 7 reproduce the Spanish Tutoring Services Agreement of Ricci Language Services LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company (the “Provider”). Students are referred to throughout as the “Student”. Where a Student has signed that Agreement, the signed Agreement governs.

1. Translation services

Quotes are given per project and are fixed once accepted. The quoted price is the invoiced price.

Every certified translation is delivered with a signed certificate of accuracy stating that the translation is complete and accurate and that I am competent to translate between the languages concerned.

Turnaround is quoted per project. Same-day service is available for an additional fee, quoted in advance.

Documents are translated as written. Errors, omissions or inconsistencies in the source document are reproduced faithfully and are not corrected.

All documents and their contents are held in confidence. A client's own non-disclosure agreement will be signed on request.

Translation is not legal advice. I do not interpret the meaning or legal effect of a document, advise on its contents, or recommend a course of action.

Translation work for law firms and businesses is invoiced on Net 30 terms unless otherwise agreed. Translation for individuals is payable on delivery.

2. Services

The Provider shall provide the Student with one-on-one Spanish language tutoring lessons through a virtual teleconferencing platform of the Provider's choosing (each, a “Lesson”).

Each Lesson shall be fifty (50) minutes in length.

Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, each Lesson shall take place on a recurring weekly basis, on a date and at a time mutually agreed upon by the Parties and exclusively reserved for the Student's use (the “Reserved Slot”).

The Reserved Slot is held exclusively for the Student, who understands that because of this it cannot be offered to or booked by another pupil on short notice. Accordingly, the cancelation and rescheduling provisions contained in Section 4 shall apply whether or not the Student attends the Lesson.

Lessons shall begin and end at their scheduled times. If the Student arrives late to a Lesson, the Lesson will ordinarily end at the originally scheduled time, and the Lesson's fee shall not be reduced. If the Student has not joined the Lesson within fifteen (15) minutes after its scheduled start time and has not contacted the Provider, the Provider may treat the Lesson as a no-show subject to Section 4 of these Terms.

The Student is responsible for maintaining a functioning device, adequate internet connection, and access to the virtual teleconferencing platform used for the Lesson. Technical problems attributable to the Student shall not extend the scheduled duration of a Lesson or excuse payment of the Lesson's fee. If a Lesson cannot reasonably be completed because of a technical problem attributable to the Provider, the Provider shall either reschedule the affected portion of the Lesson or apply an appropriate credit toward a future Lesson.

The Provider shall provide the tutoring services contemplated by these Terms in good faith, but does not guarantee any particular level of Spanish-language proficiency, academic grade, examination result, or other educational outcome. The Student understands that educational progress may depend upon factors including the Student's attendance, participation, preparation, practice, and individual learning needs.

3. Payment terms

The Student shall pay the Provider Sixty Dollars ($60.00) per Lesson (the “Lesson Fee”).

The full Lesson Fee (the number of Lessons multiplied by the $60.00 cost per lesson) shall be paid in advance, according to one of the following payment schedules, as selected by the Student: Biweekly — payment is due every two weeks, on a Monday, covering the Lessons scheduled during the upcoming two-week block of lessons; or Monthly — payment is due once a month, on the date specified, covering the Lessons scheduled during the applicable upcoming month.

The Lesson Fee is due on or before the applicable payment date specified above (the “Due Date”).

If full payment of the Lesson Fee is not received by the Due Date, the Provider may suspend the Student's Lessons until the outstanding balance is paid in full. The Provider shall not be required to provide a Lesson while the Student's account is past due.

If payment remains outstanding after the Provider tenders written notice to the Student, the Provider may release the Student's Reserved Slot and make that time available to another pupil. Suspension of Lessons and/or release of the Reserved Slot shall not waive any amount already due and owing to the Provider under these Terms.

Any payment that is declined, reversed, returned, cancelled, charged back, or otherwise unsuccessful shall be treated as unpaid unless and until the Provider receives the applicable Lesson Fee in full.

4. Rescheduling & cancellation policy

The Student acknowledges that each Reserved Slot is held exclusively for that Student's Lesson and ordinarily cannot be offered to another pupil. Accordingly, all Lessons must be cancelled or a request to reschedule must be made at least twelve (12) hours before the Lesson's scheduled start time.

If the Student cancels a Lesson or requests to reschedule a Lesson less than 12 hours before the Lesson's scheduled start time, or failed to attend a scheduled Lesson, the Lesson shall be considered provided and the full Lesson Fee shall be charged, and no refund or make-up session shall be required.

This policy reflects that the Reserved Slot was set aside exclusively for the Student and cannot be filled by another pupil.

If the Student cancels or requests to reschedule a Lesson at least 12 hours before the Lesson's scheduled start time, the Lesson Fee previously paid for that Lesson shall be applied as a credit toward one rescheduled Lesson, rescheduled at a mutually agreed upon date and time, subject to Provider's availability.

Unless otherwise agreed by the Provider, a rescheduled Lesson must occur within thirty (30) days after it was originally scheduled, and remains subject to the cancellation and rescheduling provisions of this Section 4.

If the Provider cancels a Lesson, the Student shall not be charged for that Lesson. Any Lesson Fee previously paid for the Lesson canceled by the Provider shall be applied towards a rescheduled Lesson. If the Parties cannot reasonably reschedule the Lesson, the applicable Lesson Fee shall be credited towards a future Lesson and/or refunded.

The Provider may, in its discretion, waive or modify the cancellation or rescheduling requirements contained in this Section 4 in a particular instance. Any such waiver or modification shall apply only to that instance and shall not require the Provider to grant the same or a similar waiver or modification in the future.

5. Term & termination

Either Party may terminate the arrangement by providing at least seven (7) days' written notice to the other Party. During the seven-day notice period, these Terms, including the payment, scheduling, and cancellation provisions contained herein, shall remain in full force and effect.

Written notice may be provided by email and/or text message to the other Party using the contact information exchanged between the Parties.

Termination shall not affect Lesson Fees already earned by the Provider or any other amounts due and owing to the Provider under these Terms.

The Student shall remain responsible for the Lesson Fees applicable to Lessons occurring before the effective date of the termination, including any Lesson Fees arising from a late cancellation or no-show under Section 4.

Any prepaid Lesson Fees attributable to Lessons scheduled to occur after the effective date of termination shall be refunded to the Student or, upon mutual agreement of the Parties, applied as a credit towards another Lesson or service provided by the Provider.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Provider may suspend Lessons or terminate the arrangement immediately upon written notice to the Student in the event of: (a) nonpayment of amounts due under these Terms; (b) abusive, threatening, harassing, discriminatory, sexually inappropriate, or otherwise materially inappropriate conduct toward the Provider or any of its agents, employees, etc.; (c) repeated material violations of the scheduling or cancellation provisions of these Terms; or (d) any other material breach of these Terms.

Any amounts due or refundable following termination by the Provider pursuant to this paragraph shall be determined in accordance with the payment, cancellation and termination provisions of these Terms. Notwithstanding termination, the Student's obligation to tender all payments that are due and owing to the Provider continues until the Provider receives payment in full.

6. Instructional materials

Any Lesson plans, exercises, worksheets, presentations, written materials, recordings, or other instructional materials created or provided by the Provider in connection with the Lessons (the “Instructional Materials”) shall remain the exclusive property of the Provider unless otherwise expressly stated in writing.

The Student may use the Instructional Materials provided by the Provider for the Student's personal and noncommercial educational purposes.

The Student shall not reproduce, distribute, publish, sell, sublicense, commercially exploit, or make the Instructional Materials available to another party without the Provider's prior written permission.

Neither Party may audio-record, video-record, photograph, screen-record, or otherwise record a Lesson without the prior consent of the other Party.

7. General provisions

Governing law. These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey. Any judicial proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms shall be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of New Jersey, subject to any non-waivable rights available to either Party under applicable law.

Amendments. A signed Agreement may be amended or modified only by written agreement assented to and signed by both Parties. A written amendment includes exchanged email correspondence wherein both Parties expressly state they agree and acknowledge the amended or modified language contained in their email correspondence shall amend and/or modify the Agreement and be so incorporated therein as applicable.

Severability. If any provision is determined to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law or, where enforcement is not possible, shall be severed and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

Waiver. A Party's failure or delay in enforcing any provision on one occasion shall not constitute a waiver of that provision or of that Party's right to enforce the provision on another occasion.

Electronic signatures. A signature transmitted or executed electronically shall have the same force and effect as an original handwritten signature to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Interpretation. No Party shall be deemed a drafter of these Terms, and no provision shall be construed against any Party. Where a provision or term is ambiguous, it shall be interpreted using its expressed and/or plain meaning.

If the Student is under eighteen (18) years of age, the Student's parent or legal guardian must sign the Agreement and accepts responsibility for all payments, scheduling, cancellation, and other obligations arising under it on behalf of the Student.
